I have sent an email, modifying it only in so far so to say I am a T&T national and to act to protect OUR heritage etc.

Yes sorry about the tourbago email, i got that initially off the TDC business card but when i went there yesturday they told me that address is no longer in use. Please refer to my comment about ten or so down from the top where i posted the email addresses given to me by the TDC.

sadly cutting their lines would not work because the bait and hooks is still in the water and they would just come back again with new lines. Also the mentallity of people like this who have complete disregard for the reef etc.. would be to turn on you with knives or sink your boat, so personally as much as i would love to dynamte their boat out of the water i cant, and have to hope that doing things the "official way" will solve the problem.

Hi Steve

that's possitive. my first email to them on this matter, about the same time i posted this appeal recieved an automated response different from yours which appears to acknowledge the issue. Hopefully that means they are seeing the numerous responses to this matter and will take it serious.

Hello Stu

I've only just seen this, but will get an email off ASAP, and will forward relevant info to Steve who I'm sure will do the same.

Keep us posted on progress. Let's hope you've caught this in time and some action is taken.

I mailed [email protected], and the prime minister at [email protected] and got returned mail - anyone had success in contacting the PM office?
Seemed to have success with ethlyn john and contact@visittobago - at least mails not bounced back so far!!

Thanks for letting me know about this - any other strategies for us remote supporters to go for?

Cheers
RJ

Done! Flying on Thurs. Will circulate a copy amongst the grass roots guys around the beach. Falling sales on the glass bottom boats would be very bad news for them! :evil: . Lets hope there is a good outcome to this issue for everybody`s sake !. Busy packing. Gill
